Access for the Disabled - Some Guidance

If you provide a service which disabled customers and clients may use then you have a responsibility to ensure that that service is as available to them as any abled bodied person. This is not just a moral responsibility it is now the law. From October 1 2004 the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) has required you to have made any necessary physical alterations to your premises to overcome barriers to access. You will need to start planning now for any alterations that need to be made, you may already have seen that premises such as banks have begun to introduce ramped entrance and electric doors. These may be the sort of alterations that you will have to consider.

It is essential that careful planning is undertaken to achieve the most effective results, Collier Stevens Chartered Surveyors have developed specialist knowledge in this field and have carried out many hundreds of Disabled Access Audits on premises ranging from War Memorial, Libraries and Castles to Schools and Nurseries.

An Access Audit is an essential component of your disability planning process, and covers areas you may not have thought of. It is all very well overcoming the barriers of day to day access but what about emergency escape for the disabled in case of fire? Do you have a phone that the public can use? Is it accessible to a disabled user? Only when you have a full overview of the obstacles facing your business or premises can you prepare a strategy for dealing with the issue
